Indian Carrot Salad

Print this recipe

(12 votes)

Category:     Entree

Description:
This was originally a Jamie Oliver recipe however I have morphed it in to one suitable for us type A's. This is a salad only in the sense the the veggies are not cooked and there is a dressing to pour over the top but by all means this is a hardy main course type dish. I would imagine that this would also make a good potluck type dish since it is best severed at room temperature. It holds up really well for left overs.


General applicability:

Indian Carrot Salad
Green: recipe contains only neutral or a beneficials ingredients for that type.
Yellow: recipe contains an secondary avoid ingredient that may be substituted by a more permissable one.

Ingredient list:
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 1/4 pounds ground turkey or chicken
  • 2 teaspoons garam masala
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 Pound carrots, peeled then grated (I use the grate attachment on my food processor for this)
  • 1 Tablespoon toasted sesame seeds (type AB & B omit)
  • 1/3 cup chopped parsley
  • For the dressing:
  • 1 teaspoon cumin seeds, toasted then ground (I would imagine that you can use already ground cumin but would think you would back off the amount to 3/4 tsp)
  • 3 shallots or 1 small red onion, finely diced
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • 1 heaping tsp freshly grated ginger (the bottled ginger works just fine for me)
  • 1/3 - 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Serve with:
  • Naan, pita, or bread that's appropriate for your type.
  • Plain Greek style yogurt
  • lemon wedges


How to make it:
  • In a large skillet, cook turkey or chicken in olive oil breaking in to small pieces with a spatula or wooden spoon.
  • Stir in garam marsala and salt till thoroughly combined.
  • Continue to cook until meat is browned and a little crispy.
  • In a large bowl, combined the shredded carrots, toasted sesame seeds and chopped parsley.
  • In a small bowl, combined the cumin, diced shallots or onion, lemon zest, lemon juice and grated ginger. Whisk in extra virgin olive oil till everything is thoroughly combined.
  • Added the turkey/chicken to the carrot mixture, stir. Then stir in the dressing.
  • Serve immediately.
